Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
...they've explained Numbers Stations to me on the CommentsBoards here
- Googled it - & they speak of one that is a little girl's voice:
- Now - there could be a few dif. reasons for that
...but that seemed just too Stephen King to be true...

thats so cool! i gotta get a shortwave radio, or build one. there is actually a really intense oldschool seller of tubes and radio equipment right by me in williamsburg bk. ive been there a few times, the guy who runs it is grumpy but endearing.

I used to get this German speaking number station in the past. There was just the one digit i couldn't figure out. Sounded like 'zwul'..

Husband Man:
Fab, my wife keeps thinking she sees you around Red Hook Brooklyn. She's like, "There he is again!" I'm like, "How do you know." She sez "No on else looks like that." So what's the deal? You hangin' in the hook, or is she losing her mind?

@steve--you bet it's cool, when I found out about this I sat glued to my radio..mildly freaked out all night.

The Colin Stetson stuff was really cool. I assumed it would suck major ass because his CV said he's played with Arcade Fire and Bon Iver. Those 2 bands are the worst, most bland, annoying soft rock bands ever.

Fabio:
@Husband man: Yes, it is possible. I have a pal in Red hook and have been around there quite a bit, and also have been to the restaurants on Van Brunt as well.

My first stop when I go to Chicago next week will be an afternoon at Revolution Brewing. I'm looking extremely forward to it. Iffy name but great beer. revbrew.com...

Good plan, Cheri. I think Point on tap and Hams in the can are the cheap macro beers at the Empty Bottle. Won't get too hammered and it will keep me fairly hydrated.

steve:
macro-brewery. thats a great new word. new to me at least.

Ike:
Carm, that was actually Tim@4:13. I was being a coy smart-ass and wondering how many people who are too cool for bombastic epic indie rock would descend upon me immediately. ;)

Insect Ark is indeed great.

tim from champaign:
That's an impressive sword, Ike. I do stand by my disdain of weenie rock.

Corrupted PDFs took me away from the voyage aboard the Insect Ark. So now all Adobe employees, with their robot little black polo shirts must die in a chemical fireball.

Hope Insect Ark is playing here in England sometime on her tour? No mention on web site??
